About Crookedwood
Crookedwood is a small rural village in north County Westmeath, centred on the R394 between Mullingar and Castlepollard, with nearby Bracklin, Ballynafid and Multyfarnham. It has a quiet, close-knit countryside character, with scattered homes, farmland and woodland rather than a built-up suburban layout. Day-to-day life is peaceful and car-dependent, although Mullingar provides the county’s main range of shopping, services, schools and rail connections. The village has local pub and community facilities, while Castlepollard and Mullingar broaden the choice of cafés, restaurants, supermarkets and healthcare. Families generally use Crookedwood’s local primary-school provision or travel to surrounding villages and towns for further education. Commuters can reach Mullingar by road for trains and buses towards Dublin and the west, while the N4 and M50 connections are accessible via Mullingar. Nearby leisure opportunities include walking and countryside recreation around Lough Derravaragh and Lough Owel, with GAA and other community activities available across the surrounding parishes.
